Daughter and I stopped in for a quick breakfast today. They were completely empty but the crowds arrived as we ate. She ordered a chorizo burrito and devoured it. Overstuffed and heavy with hot fresh eggs, potatoes and green chile. She loved it. I ordered one to go for the hubs. I ordered a fish taco and egg, beans n cheese tacos. Again, overstuffed, fresh and delicious!!! Omg how have I not been here before??? Everything is lightly seasoned allowing the real food to shine. They also have a nice selection of salsas from mild to very hot. All fresh and wow. We will definitely be back. Oh and do not sleep on the agua frescas!!! We had cantaloupe and...mmmmm freakin fantastic!!! The atmosphere is divey but clean and organized. Friendly staff as well. Dang Tacos El Rey 2, I'm sorry I didn't see you before but trust and believe...I see you now!!! read more

Excellent fast friendly service. Carnitas tacos great. Birria quesadillas fabulous! Affordable fast dinner option for us. Will go back.

Very friendly service and accommodating to my dietary requirements. If it tastes as good as it smells I can't wait.

Love the chicken tacos, they always make with 2 corn tortillas. The salsas are homemade and fantastic. The chili cheese fries are the bomb. So delicious. I usually take my orders to-go. It's counter service with some table and chairs so there is a place to sit if you want to. It's usually very busy during the lunch hours. They also have breakfast burritos. I recommend calling ahead for food. No alcohol but they do have Mexican coke read more

Tasty food and presented well. Small seating area. Service great and polite , friendly staff

The food is pretty good and fairly reasonable. But that being said! If you are going to have someone working the register can they at least try to look somewhat professional!? And not mumble or just be going through the motions when taking you order. This person with the crooked baseball cap is representing your business. Oh and maybe remove your earphones! But, I am sure is an in the minority here and no one else will care. I am pretty sure I wo t be back. I woke too hard for my mi way to be treated like this! read more

This is my second time going there. I tried the smothered burrito because it seemed highly reviewed but it was just alright, needed a little more flavor in the smothering sauce. What will keep me coming back though is their tacos- especially the chicharron and chorizo tacos... so good!!! Service is always friendly as well. read more

Best Mexican food in town, and in Colorado!!! My search is over. I ordered the el pastor, carne asada, and birria tacos with guacamole. I also ordered a burrito, fries, and horchata to share with my husband. Everything was authentic and soooo yummy. The tortillas were prepared nicely and were soft. The meat was well seasoned, punch of flavors you expect and they do not skimp on sauce or portions. The staff here is also friendly. Fast service. There are plenty of seats and convenient parking which makes the space feel open and inviting. I will keep returning here for their amazing food! read more

Best street tacos around. Also the smothered burritos are amazing. Not much on atmosphere but the food is incredible.

The location is welcoming with plenty of seating. The service is attentive and friendly. I ordered the chicken flautas which we're perfectly crispy and full of juicy chicken. Plate Included rice and beans that were legitimately authentic. But the best was the barbacoa tacos. I ordered three tacos in corn tortilla with some onion cilantro and lime. I would definitely return. read more

They have good tacos! We usually order to go and taste good every time! Not fancy inside and people seem to know their style, not much of conversation but they get the order done for you! We wish they open on Sundays! read more

Amazing breakfast burritos! Also their mild/medium salsa is to die for. My husband and I will be making this one of our regular stops.

BEST HUEVOS RANCHEROS AROUND !!!! But, bathrooms unkempt, small children running around and dunno why they don't serve coffee, but that could be simple & smart of them to do so people don't go to the Starbucks next door...

TACOS ARE AMAZING!!! Best around for sure! Also their chicken quesadilla is super good as well. 10/10 Highly Recommend! Insider Tip: get it to go read more

OK, I'm guessing when I can get some post-pandemic seating, this will be 5 star. Having to do take-home, things got a bit cool and soggy. BUT! Other than that, you need to eat here. Not all Tex Mexy. Great tacos and more traditional. I went with a solid gorditas chicharron which is crispy fried pig skin. My sole mate went with shrimp tacos and loved them. Now, you need accessories with Mex food. I would rate their salsas as hot, super hot, and hell-n-damnation. Please don't be a wimp, you gotta do it. Wash it down with their Fanta if you must. Or better, have cerveza (not available on site) and of course you should go with Negra Modela in winter time. OMG wait! You forgot to order chips and guac?! Go back now and get some. No, seriously, go back. read more

The food here is really good. I've been there a few times, and have not been disappointed with the flavor. The atmosphere leaves a little something to be desired. It smelled very strongly like floor cleaner and grease, and half the tables had chairs up on them, well before closing time. So I would recommend getting your food to go rather than dining in. read more

This place is a 10/10 Amazing & Authentic The green chili is spicy, but tasty. Yummy read more

The food was delicious but we were greeted by a not-so-friendly individual who acted as though we were imposing on them for ordering online. A few items were missing their add-ons that we paid extra for and the horchata was grainy. Overall, I will continue eating at Tacos Aya Yay. read more

This place is great. We've tried steak, chicken, and chorizo burritos - my favorite is the chorizo. We've also tried their asada tacos and they are absolutely delicious! They remind me of the tacos I used to get at the taco trucks in CA. Parking and pickup is easy. Definitely give this place a try read more

Love their tacos! We eat there every week. Their prices took a jump but still worth it! Our local goto Mexican restaurant.

I've been supporting this business for quite a while. They are charging a 2% convenience fee on their orders and don't know why when asked. I paid cash. Food is alright but I think I will be taking my business to Santiagos, they don't charge a convenience fee. Prices have gone up on all businesses including this one, I'm willing to pay that but not a trumped-up convenience fee. I didn't eat there. It was to go and cash. The order takers are cold and rude. Poor business practices!! read more

This is our go-to spot for takeout in the area. We've tried other places but just keep coming back to this one. Best food and best prices around. Excellent burritos, tacos, quesadillas and salsas. Our fave. read more

Not very good food. Not very good service you should save your money and go to tacos ay ay in Lafayette for a much better experience.

5 stars almost exclusively for the food. I've had all the tacos in Lafayette/Erie/Broomfield/Boulder/Longmont and this place has by far the best tacos. Their Buche taco blows my mind. I tried the Gobernador taco (pablanos and shrimp) and it might be the best taco I've ever had. I have also had their smothered burritos and tortas and they are great as well, but their tacos really are the best around. Service is kind of weird, you can tell these guys are really used to it being a food truck. The guy who runs the front of house is probably 16 and I'm assuming is the son of the owners. If wouldn't eat in the restaurant here unless you set your expectations low for service but who cares when the tacos are this good. Great takeout spot. read more

Delicious Mexican Food! Thankful to have it in our neighborhood. This is my new goto place to grab a quick lunch. Super fast service and reasonable priced entrees. read more

We got chili cheese fries, smothered burrito and chicken tacos. The service was good. The food was okay. I thought the green chili could use more spice and flavor. There is no soft drink machine, just canned and bottled drinks. read more

Best chorizo breakfast burrito I've had in Colorado. Nicely grilled tortilla, cumin laced chorizo and a great egg/cheese blend. read more

Placed my order for a breakfast burrito, nothing fancy. After 15 minutes I walked out, empty handed. They can't get their shit together to see straight. Not sure if the food is any good. Service was a joke. read more

My husband and I went back to Tacos El Rey for another night of tacos at home, but this time, we wanted to try a few more items, since the tacos we had last time were so good. My husband ordered the chorizo quesadilla, which came out kind of greasy (I think from the chorizo) with lots of melty cheese. His order also came with lettuce (like the typical wet lettuce from taco bell), sour cream, and guac. I ordered the smothered burrito with chorizo, which is a massive burrito smothered in a green chile sauce and shredded melted cheese on top. The menu said it came with pico de gallo (which was good), sour cream (which was missing), and lettuce on the side. The chorizo, rice, and bean filling inside was good. I'm more of a put-all-the-things-into-the-burrito person, so having only chorizo, rice, and beans inside (to me) was a bit of a letdown, but that chorizo is still delicious, regardless. The green chili had an interesting flavor, but the whole dish kind of made me feel like I was eating some kind of casserole, since the "smothering" aspect left it kind of wet and soft. Which is why I am so glad we also ordered a few more of the tacos because once I took one bite of that taco... I knew I'd never go back!! I'm glad we ordered the other items to give them a try, but they've really perfected the taco flavor and I'm hooked. I re-ordered the steak, adobada, and chorizo and they were all so, so good. If you've never had adobada before (I hadn't either until my first visit here), it's a marinated pork in a red chili sauce with vinegar and spices, and is packed with flavor. I also tried all of their hot sauces (mild, medium-hot, very hot). The mild sauce is good, but not really a sauce. More like a mix of vinegar (?), tomatos, onion, cilantro, spice - like a west pico with extra flavoring. I like it, but it's not what I expected. The medium-hot was bright red and actually a little spicy and the very hot was not hot at all to me, and actually a little too sweet (but I have a super high tolerance to spice). Overall, Tacos El Rey #2 is killin' it on the taco game! read more

This place deserves an A+. It's the most authentic, southern California Mexican style street tacos that I've ever had living in Denver for 17 years plus. Finally!! I've been searching for an eternity for a place like this! Do you know how hard it is to find good quality authentic Mexican food here?! Keep up the great work and make more locations! I'm going to keep coming to eat at your restaurant!! 100% recommend!! read more

Y'alllllll....the food here is A++++!!!! AUTHENTIC. The tacos, the salsas...all flavorful and absolutely delicious. The chips are hot and perfectly salty. We eat a lot of Mexican food. This place takes the top prize!!!! Our kids love it too. My husband and I sat right under the TV at the restaurant playing Mexican soaps and we didn't even pay no mind..our "mmmmmmmm"s is all we heard! So good! read more

Love their food and prices! And portions~ You can't get a steak taco from Taco Bell for this price . And the quality is perfect! Love this place! Simple Mexican place done right read more

The pastor tacos were the beat I've had in awhile. Thank goodness. The carne Asada tacos were flavorless and my boyfriend didn't eat his burrito that had carne Asada as well. But the pastor was amazing. Cheap and delicious. I am so happy we found this place. Also, they have a lot of salsas and really good melon water. The staff was really friendly. The 20 min wait was excessive but I believe it's because they had a big order right before us and the people that came in 10 min after us got their food the same time we did. Other than that I will try them again. read more

Best smothered burrito in Colorado. The green chili ain't bad either. Give him a try.

Best taco place around. No atmosphere but that's ok! My fave are the tacos. The chorizo is sooo good! Great value too!

Great street tacos! I used to get these in Santa Barbra. Feels like home. Great service, good choices and friendly staff. I will be back!

I got the breakfast burrito. So good and well priced. Moved here from California and this is the best one I have had in Colorado!

Amazing counter service tacos. I can't think of any better place for tacos in the area. No frills, if you are looking for a fancy place to sit and drink cute Instagram worthy margaritas, this is not your place. But if you want some delicious authentic mexican food. Go! read more
